for a rather big patch, i am using autopattr for preset management - to save all the patches settings.

i'm now looking for a way to additionally make "sub-"presets, only saving some of the parameters.

(think: sequencer with drum-machine included; one wants to save the sound-section separately from the sequencing section).

Check out the subscribe/unsubscribe messages in pattrstorage object reference.

doesn't really help me for my problem..
or i'm to stupid to get it.


The basic idea is to disable automatic object discovery in pattrstorage, and then manually subscribe all objects. The following patch shows how it works:

thanks so much for the detailed "dummy-"tutorial, oscii.

the patch is great & this really (!) helps alot.

 i can have an autopattr object in my patch that "feeds" one pattrstorage (set to subscribe-mode)

with ALL my patch parameters, whereas my other pattrstorages (set no not subscribe) are manually "fed"

how do i handle multiple instances of a bpatcher / abstraction?

(via message as your patch shows)? 

if so - no comes another obstacle:
how do i handle multiple instances of a bpatcher / abstraction?
bpatcher(1) --> pattrstorage "1"
bpatcher(2) --> pattrstorage "2" etc 

Theoretically, it should be possible via the subscribe/unsubscribe method, but I would recommend you to lurk more info about managing bpatchers with pattrstorage on the forum. Sorry, I can't answer your question with just 5-min tinkering with Max, need more research.
